- Seven FAILs, one setting: rerunning agents at 262144 tokens
Seven agent cells on the A9 failed at a 131072-token context. Rerun at 262144, six passed. Four of the seven never needed the extra room.
- Inventing the work vs promising what isn't there
Checking 71 local-model agent runs' claims against their own command logs: three models invent work, three promise atomicity they never built.
- The fastest model finished first by stopping first
gpt-oss-120b cleared six agent cells in 51 minutes by quitting early on each. Two of those stops shipped Zig that does not compile.
- Read the transcript, not the gate
15 of 17 local models passed the agent smoke gate on the 128 GB box. Eight of those passes hid a Claude Code failure the intake had logged and nobody read.
